Ofrenda #3

Oil on 5" panel. Another day another skull, and they're going to keep coming! I have painted many in the recent weeks and I have a few older works to share. Bones are fascinating to paint, as I study the intricacies I can't help feel total appreciation for this magical form. The skull offers so much to the artist, I can't think of a better subject for learning the "framework" of form and function. I once read, the body was created by water so it could walk around.

Hi, welcome to my art blog! I post only my own artwork here, which could be anything from cats and other animals to abstract art, portraiture and plein air painting. It's impossible to pick a favorite mode because I enjoy them all, and it changes all the time anyway. One thing I can say with certainty, is painting on location aka plein air painting is the most complex and amazing work I can think of, and my goal is to do more of it because painting from nature is really living.
